Powder coating is increasingly accepted as thepreferred finishingprocess for the future for many applications.Increasinglystringentenvironmental regulations,rising costs in allareas, anddemands by consumersfor better quality andmore durableproducts areamong the challenges facingtoday's finisher.Powder coatingprovides asolution to these challenges andothers.
Powdercoating is the technique ofapplyingstatically charged dry paint to apart which is then heated in anoven tomelt and curethe paint. Thefinal cured coating is the same as a2-packwet paint. The powderedpaint is normally applied by using a powderfeedsystem and gun toelectrostatically charge and spray the powder ontothepart. For someuses, such aspipes, the part being coated is dippedinto afluidised bedof powder. The partis then placed in a curing oven.Duringthe curingprocess a chemicalcross-linking reaction is triggeredand itis thischemical reaction whichgives the powder coating many ofitsdesirableproperties.
Powder Coating gives a dry,clean,durable coating.Itis environmentally friendly. Unlike liquid finishingwere solventsareused, powder coatings do not release VolatileOrganicCompounds intotheatmosphere. Unlike wet spraying, in many casesthe over sprayedpowdercan be recycled for re-use.
Powdercoating can produce much thickercoatingthanconventional liquidcoatings without running or sagging.Additionallya widerange of effectsare easily accomplished which would beimpossibleto achievewith othercoating processes.
Capital equipment and operating costs for powdercoating lines are generally less than for conventional wet spray lines.
